# Safety Scores Changelog

[All versions](https://pharos.watch/methodology/scoring-changelog/)

<a id="scoring-v2-0"></a>

## v2.0 - Remove Safety dimension

**Effective:** 2026-02-26

Safety dimension removed due to sparse Bluechip rating coverage (~20/142 coins). Bluechip display kept for informational use.

- Safety dimension dropped; weight redistributed to remaining 5 dimensions

Only ~20 of 142 coins had Bluechip ratings. Sparse coverage caused inconsistent weight redistribution. Safety dimension removed entirely; Bluechip display kept for informational use.
